I’m Peter Suciu and I have been collecting militaria since 1980. I’m the author of two books and dozens of articles on military collectibles. You can find my work on the subject in the pages of Military Trader, Military Surplus, Recoil, Armchair General and Military Heritage. I attend numerous shows and events around the world, and you can chat with me at Show of Shows (SOS), the Baltimore Antique Arms Show, the Michigan Antique Arms Show and the MAX.
I continue to write on the subject of sun/pith helmets at MilitarySunHelmets.com
While I’m always looking to add pieces of headdress to my personal collection, I now have so much stuff that I’ve decided to let some of it go. Check these pages often as I’m also always finding interesting things to offer! I have boots on the ground in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand, Ethiopia, Egypt, Panama and in other exotic locations around the world. Why travel the world looking for militaria when I can do it for you?
